<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1398405, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry I didn&#039;t see this had been won. The dating of these are in contention. Yours is the smaller size, so later. If you want to see an impressive specimen, take a look at the earlier specimens. I have quite a few of them between 33 to 38cm in size. Btw, Liang is the name for a unit of measure like an ounce. Ban is half, so the coin was literally &quot;half ounce of bronze&quot;. The early specimens are half a liang, but the later ones shrank. Its an important coin, though, basically its dimensions and size would set in stone for the next 2,000 years the size of Chinese coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very pleased you reached out past European coins for your first ancient. Cool. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Still may want to get a nice Alexander bronze if only for bragging rights, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
